F250 to F100 front brake question.

Post by westco »

I have an opportunity to buy a rolling chassis from a 71 F100 2wd, 9" rear for $100.00 ...I want to convert my 69 F250 to 5 lug and be able to use dream beams.

Although the F100 is drum brakes and my F250 has disk brakes, can I bolt up disk rotors to the new spindles off the F100 so I can keep the front disk's?

the spindles on the F100 are completely different from the F250 spindles

I meant F100 disks to the spindles that are drum off the F100.

Ok...so I can bolt up the disk brake stuff to the spindles that now have drum brake on them....please excuse my ignorance, just trying to make sure I can accomplish what I want to do.

i think repeat i think yo ucan just remove your rotor and brake caliper holder from your current F250 spindles and put the rotor and brake caliper brackets on from a dentside. no need to use the drum brake spindles or any of that from the drum brake setup.
